This gets a little confusing. So on the one hand, the results in the review dont look quite right, and it almost looks like the brightness OSD control adjusts contrast and visa versa. see the thread here discussing it:

would be interested to hear your views about the backlight control or lack of it. that link has readings of luminance, black point etc if we assumed the controls were the wrong way round.
It looks like the contrast control is a digital white level control, which is actually the correct thing to do. The problem is there's no backlight luminance control, which is normally called brightness on most monitors, so there's no way to dim the backlight. That means the only way to reduce the white luminance is to reduce the contrast. That's why the contrast is so poor. That's a serious design limitation. The 30" Hazro only has a backlight luminance control, which is why it's not affected by the problem.
If what Snowdog and toasty say is true, then i agree that this is such a dissapointment. I am using Dell 2405 FPW which cannot adjust contrast. Why would i jump from one evil to another ? But this time it would be the brightness/luminance control .....
I dearly hope the HP does not have such limitation as well
The NEC 2690 seems to have the best OSD controls for changing everything perfectly. To top it off it has an internal lut and is capable for a 1 push button caliberation which is awesome imho
